The sofa covers/throws weren't clean & had spots of mud on.
There was no washing up bowl or dishcloth
The towels were too small
The parking space was small & one end of it was just mud from all the rain. It needed paving slabs or bark because getting out the car to the caravan our shies got really muddy & we ended up taking them on & off outside so we didn't tread mud into the caravan

Location is great, right on the beach!
The caravan is pretty old and run down. Lots of big stains on carpet and marked/ripped wall paper. Was not as clean as I would expect for the price, needed a hoover at the very least.

It was quite difficult to get the key out of the box for starters. There was no working light in the bathroom. Struggled to get the heating on. Microwave didn’t work. Crumbs around toaster, bathroom sink was dirty and didn’t empty
We didn’t arrive until late due to an awful journey. There was no working light in the bathroom and only one half of a toilet roll between 4 of us. The description was home from home. No teabags, no washing up liquid or dishcloth to wipe up mess that had been left from previous guest. Out door ligh kept flickering on and off

The Caravan is a bit tired and dated. Had a musty smell but it was very very hot weather so the heat may have created this. The caravan was clean and comfortable. Had everything you needed.
Outside there were weeds and it felt unloved. There is a little patio with a table and chairs. We didn’t use it because it was filthy. Def not been cleaned for a long time or swept. There was a lot of debris from trees , berries etc on the patio.

Brilliant location, right next to the beach, walking in one direction there are no roads you go along a beautiful coastal footpath, along which you can push a wheelchair most of the way. Lovely quiet holiday park. We really loved the caravan and spending a peaceful time right next to the sea.

The location - the beach is just a few minutes away. It was a lovely walk to West Mersea along the beach and coast road. We also walked to East Mersea and beyond. The space was definitely comfortable enough. Very helpful host.
As others have said, the caravan is a bit tired but it’s comfortable and good value for money.

Location, the actual holiday park
Absolute outdated mobile home. A terrible smell inside. Mould in the bathroom, the toilet seat completely ruined. The spare bed was a foldmiut bed with something that couldnt be called a matress. Everything was grubby. Cigarettes in the bbq. Just horrible and uncomfortable

We had a wonderful time staying at this caravan! The space was clean and spacious, making it really comfortable to relax. The bed was perfect, and I slept so well during my stay. It's also a huge plus that dogs are allowed, so my furry friend was able to join me for the trip. The location is fantastic—it's just a short walk to the beach, and there are plenty of eateries nearby. Everything we needed was within easy reach, which made the whole experience even better. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a comfortable and convenient stay!
nothing really.
